CAMBRIDGE, England & SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CSR (LSE:CSR), an industry leader in connectivity, location, and audio
platforms, today announced that Samsung Electronics will incorporate
CSR’s aptX audio technology into its mobile devices and accessories.
This will be the first time that aptX enabled Bluetooth® stereo
will be featured in a range of mobile devices and accessories by a
global leader in consumer electronics. The innovative aptX audio
technology delivers low-latency audio and high-fidelity quality stereo
over wireless connections such as Bluetooth.

CSR’s aptX solution has already been adopted by a number of innovative
consumer electronics brands as a result of its market-leading Bluetooth
audio quality, and now features in a growing array of wireless speaker
dock and stereo headphone products.

“Samsung has established a reputation among consumers for the consistent
delivery of high performance products that offer genuine innovation and
exceptional value,” said Anthony Murray, Senior Vice President of CSR’s
Audio and Consumer Business Unit. “Samsung’s decision to partner with
CSR is a defining moment for our aptX solution; highlighting aptX as a
true ‘must-have’ feature and one that consumers will start to expect as
standard. Consumers everywhere stand to benefit from its superior
wireless stereo audio quality.”

CSR aptX delivers outstanding stereo audio quality over Bluetooth
connectivity and its full audio-frequency bandwidth matches hi-fi
performance. Its low audio coding delay minimises latency effects and
‘lip-sync’ issues making it ideal for use in multimedia devices and it
offers backward-compatibility with SBC enabled Bluetooth.
